It's possible if you meet the criteria for the course you want to transfer into. I did it from one faculty to a totally different one. Get in touch with the health and society chair and the nursing chair ASAP, and Aaron in the SU will be able to help you too, he is the Education officer. Good luck

thank you very much for your reply mate, do i contact them straight away like now? will they not be put off ? especially when I havent even began yet?
I might contact the registry office and get advice this early, they can probably change my offer.
thanks again mate!0 -

No problem, both myself and my boyfriend have been through this so I understand how stressful it can be!
Well if you're worried about them being put off, 1st week of lectures would give you plenty of time But I don't think they would be, I'm sure they get many, many similar requests to yours, what with people mixing up their CAO choices and everything..
They give you a good 3 weeks at least anyway to sort it out!0 -

The success rate for internal transfers is largely dependent on 2 factors:
1. The course requirements and whether you meet them or not. With LC points, it doesn't matter how much you want a course and try to move into it within the college, if you don't have the points you won't be accepted. I don't know how it works with FETAC and the like but basically, if you don't meet the entry requirements, you're unlikely to get a place.
2. Space on the course. Some courses have a strict limit on numbers allowed. If there isn't room on the course, it'll be difficult to move into it.
As other people have said, the best thing to do is contact the faculty head and I would do it asap. The sooner you find out your options, the better. Good luck!0 -

Thank you konata for your reply, I apologise for asking this same question on another thread as I forgot to look at the date on that thread. It won't happen again.
I have emailed DCU admission just this morning and currently awaiting for their reply. Hopefully it will turn out good for me.
Thanks again.
